Very good level. River left of the big island, everything was runnable and not boney. The first drop could be run on the left center or right center. the drop by the platform was powerful, but fun. you could also run to the right of the small island instead of the platform drop. At lower levels, it is too rocky.
River right of the big island might have been possible, but we didn't try it. River left has a double drop and below the first drop is a flat shelf. Maybe it was a foot deep. Even though there was a lot of water, this would have been a hard landing. On the far right, the double drop is broken up a bit and maybe you could slide over the rocks, but there wasn't a lot of room for error. Probably nothing too serious if you didn't make it, but...
